Restarting a map with dead countries

[FransFungus]

So I heavily modified the world map, and then I decided to restart the game, I was greeted with the "simulation editor" interface, so I pressed play, but it told me I had unsaved changes, so I decided to save it before I started and now all the nations that had died in my first run didn't have names and they couldn't attack. They were still there, but had the crown with a skull to show that they are dead, even though they own territory. Naturally i tried restarting the map but they were still "dead". I tried quitting the map and playing it again, but then I realized the "unsaved changes" I had saved were the fact that some nations were dead, but still had territory. And now I can't attack, command them to attack or ally the "dead" nations. Anyone know how to fix this, or do I need to redo the heavy changes I made to the map?

I am a bit confused as to what you are talking about, but I think this will still help.

Click the custom scenarios folder or the saves folder. Find the file for your game. Open the file in notepad. The file should list, in this order: basic info, nations, terrain type, terrain ownership. I am not sure what you want, but this should fix it:
It would be a bad idea to mess with the tile ownerships manually, or to cut a nation from the file, so moving the capital coordinates and then editing the scenario in game is best. If you want to move a nation's capital coordinates, put those coordinates next to a nation that is on land and has space around it. You can then delete the nation and rebuild it as a new nation. Tell me if this doesn't help.

I made a guide in the guide section, that should hopefully help!
